Challenges and novel approaches in the epidemiological study of early life influences on later disease.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology - 1 Jan 2009

Davey Smith George, Leary Sam, Ness Andy, Lawlor Debbie A

Abstract excerpt

The influence of factors acting during early life on health outcomes of offspring is of considerable research and public health interest. There are, however, methodological challenges in establishing robust causal links, since exposures often act many decades before outcomes of interest, and may also be strongly related to other factors, generating considerable degrees of potential confounding. With respect to...
